Aaron Donald fight: What did Aaron Donald do?

As per NFL news reports, the Aaron Donald Rams complaint was filed with the Pittsburgh police on Wednesday. It stated that the Rams star and some others assaulted his 26-year-old client at a club during the after-hours. The alleged Aaron Donald fight took place last weekend. 

As per the attorney – Todd J Hollis – his client De'Vincent Spriggs had needed 16 stitches later on, suffering a broken orbital bone, a broken nose, sprained/broken arm along with a concussion. The attack apparently happened at around 3:00 AM in the morning on a Sunday. Per reports, photos with Spriggs' facial injuries were revealed. 

The attorney explained that Spriggs accidentally bumped into Donald, after which the scuffle happened. The nightclub (Boom Boom Room) then asked both parties to leave.  While speaking to ESPN, Donald was the one who approached Spriggs, who was allegedly punched and attacked by the NFL star. Others with Donald also participated, per Hollis. 

According to Pittsburgh police, detective assigning to the case are reviewing the complaint, along with the video footage available. The District Attorney's office will decide if changes need to be made. Both NFL and Rams made necessary statements about the matter. 

The league stated that they will be looking into the matter, and understand all the facts. The Rams, on their end, stated that they are aware of the incident, and are working to collect more information on the matter. "Will have no further comment at this time," the Rams' statement said. While the incident happened on a Sunday, the report was filed this Wednesday.
